I had a feeling something like this was behind it. It doesnt take three weeks to find someone if they have them on video.

A lot of these actors are narcissists and social media is destroying our society.

I have a different source that says, this story isn't true Sister,

In a statement online this afternoon the official spokesman for the Windy City cops offered an update on their ongoing investigation to the seemingly racial and homophobic assault on the Empire star on January 29 and a stern rebuke to local media.
Media reports about the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives. Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate

Chicago Police are investigating whether “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett staged an attack on himself with the help of two extras because he was being written off the hit television show, a report said.
The cops raided the home of the two extras — who are considered “persons of interest” — and took them into custody at O’Hare Airport, according the Chicago’s ABC affiliate.

The two men are of Nigerian descent and a relative told the network that several cops banged on the door last night and said they had a search warrant.

Among the items recovered from the home were bleach, shoes, and electronics.

Smollett had claimed that he was walking home from a Subway restaurant in Chicago at 2 a.m. Jan. 29 when he was accosted by two peo ple .

He said they shouted racial slurs, tied a noose around his neck and doused him with a “chemical substance” resembling bleach.

This always sounded a little hokey. I don't think Chicago thugs would yell MAGA. They should have staged it in Hollywood.

For people who believed Jussie, please know that Trump supporters are always under constant threat because of lies like these.

Dumbass, you just said you are a Trump supporter. Now you are whining because someone else lied?

Trumpsters of Newstalkers - don't complain about Jussie Smolett . This is the world you help create every day when you wake up and take your MAGA jammies off and you go out into the world to support a pathological liar like Trump.

You have no credibility. You have no basis to complain. You are supporting a lying asshole.

How can you attack anyone else for lying? You can't.
